ATLANTA — A local scientist is working toward a cure for the Dengue virus, a mosquito-borne, tropical disease that infects 100 million people and kills 24,000 people annually.

“We are doing a great humanitarian work,” said Darnisha Harrison, president of Ennaid Therapeutics, whose global biopharmaceutical company is focused on the development and commercialization of vaccines for infectious diseases.
